TOY NOVELTY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 1a, 1915.

Application filed November 11, 1914. Serial No. 871,446.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL EISENBERG, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Novelties; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The present invention has reference, generally, to a novel toy; and, the invention relates, more particularly, to a novelty, adapted when not in use to be carried in the pocket, the toy being of such general arrangement and combination of devices and parts, that it may be put to several uses, and is especially adapted for use at celebrations in displaying a national emblem.

The invention, therefore, has for its principal object to provide a novel toy of the general character hereinafter set forth. and for the purpose above stated, with a view of providing a simple and neat construction, the main parts of the device being readily collapsible so that it may be conveniently carried in the pocket.

The invention has for its further object to provide a toy of the character stated comprising in its construction a tubular member, within which is adapted to be reciprocated a plunger, and the tubular member being provided at one end with sprayer or perforated nozzle, for spraying a liquid, as eau de 00- will be clearly understood from the follow-,

ing detailed description of the present in vention.

lVith the various objects of the present invention in view, the invention consists, primarily, in the novel toy hereinafter more particularly set forth; and, the invention consists, furthermore, in the novel arrangements and combinations of the various devices and parts, as well as in the details of the construction of the said parts, all of which will be described in detail in the following specification, and then embodied in the clauses of the claim which are appended toand which form an essential part of the said specification.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of the toy, the partsof which are represented in their collapsed relation, and showing in connection therewith a writing element, as a pencil. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device, with the collapsible parts of the device partly withdrawn, and therewith an unfurled flag. Fig. 3 is another similar view of the device, with the collapsible parts still further withdrawn, when the device is to be used as a sprayer. Fig. 4 is a detail vertical sectional representation takenon line 4l4 in Fig. 1; and Fig. 5 is a similar sectional representation, said section being taken on line 5-5 in said showing in connection Fig. 1, and both said Figs. 4 and 5 being made on enlarged scales.

Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the said above described views, to indicate corresponding parts.

Referring now to the said drawings, the reference-character 1 indicates a main tubular member, which is open at its respective ends, and is externally screw-threaded as at 2 and at 3, see Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings. Suitably mounted upon the screwthreaded endportion 2 of the said member 1 is an ornamental cap or end-member, as 4,

which has a duct 5 and a screw-threaded ternal smooth bore. The upper portion of said cap or head 9 is also externally screwthreaded, as at. 12. Within the said main 1 its.interior by friction, or otherwise, a. re

taming sleeve or ferrule, as 20', for the recepti'onofthe. end-portion of a pencil 21, or the like.

"As shown, the. previously-mentioned main tubular member 1 may be longitudinally slitted, as at: 22*, for attachment to said member l of the vertical edge-portion 24 of a flag 213.,- or other suitable emblem, the said flag, or the like bei-ng", adapted to. be rolled about the said member 1, when the, device is not in use, as will be: clearly evident. It

will be understood, however, that the edgeportion 24 of the: flag 22 may be secured to the said tubular body 1 in any other suitable manner.

y The: reference-character 25 indicates a suitably formed. cylindrical casing, which is open at both ends, but one of the ends of which, as 26, is internally screw-threaded, as at. 27 and as clearly represented in Fig. 5 of the; drawings. When the device. proper is not: in, use, this. cylindrical oasi-ng. 2-5 is unscrewed from; the screw-threads 18 and slipped over the nozzle. 7 and the; end cap, 4, so as to inclose the-main member 1 and the flag 2? furled thereon, the said casing. 25 having its screw-threaded cndportion 26 screwed directly upon the screw threads 12 of the closing cap 01: head 9-,. in: the manner shown Fig 5 of? the: drawings, When the parts ofv the device are thus arranged, the device canbeeasily carried in the-pocket, and when removed from the pocket may be readily employed as a writing implement. as

will clearly evident from an inspection of l. of; the drawings.

To unfliurl the flag, all that is necessary" is tOatllllfiEIW the casing, 25: and remove it from its inol'osing relation with the main body 1 the end member i; then, reversing the casing 25- its internally screw-threaded end-portion can be screwed upon the screwthreaded part. 18. of the end-cap- 16,, in themanner illustrated in Fig. 5-,. the casing 25 inthatcase being used as a, handle for waving the flag 2:3 asclearly represented in Fig. 201?" the drawings By bringing the various parts into the relative positions, indicated in'Fig. 3, 01f; the. drawings,- the. tlag-stem or staff can be suitably lengthened, as will be clearly understood from an inspection of said Fig. 3.

The tubular main body l having been previously provided, by suction, with a quantity of eau de cologne, or if desired with water, the fluid may be ejected in a fine spray from the sprayer-end of the device, when the handle thus provided by the casing is moved up and down, and corresponding reciprocatory movements of the piston or plunger 13 within the tubular member 1 is produced.

The advantages of the herein-above described device, as a novelty and a toy, is self-evident and need not be further described in connection with the present specification. I am fully aware, however, that changes may be made in the general arrangements and combinations of the various devices. and parts, as well as in the details of the construction of the said parts, without departing from the scope of the present invention as set. forth in the foregoing specification, and as defined in the clauses of the claim which are appended thereto, Hence, 1 do not limit the present invention to the exact arrangements and combinations of the various. devices and parts as described in the said specification, nor do. I confine myself to. the exact details of the construction of the said parts as illustrated in the no companying drawings.
